So we&#8217;re thinking we could do a North versus South All-Star game for the Premier League, for whatever the pyramid needed quite easily.&#8221; <br \/>Teams for the NBA&#8217;s All Star game are selected via fan, player, and media voting. <br \/>But Klopp thinks Premier League fans would be unimpressed. <br \/>&#8220;Maybe (Boehly) can explain that. I&#8217;m not sure people want to see that &#8212; United players, Liverpool players, Everton players all together. North-east too, so Newcastle. <br \/>&#8220;It is not the national team. All the London guys together, Arsenal, Tottenham (Hotspur), great.
